If those Brutes have got my scent, then they love the smell of badass

I tried to link my gamertag- sramsay12- to my bungie.net profile, instead it creates a "free" gamertag called RearedSalmon(Random-blam!-Number)

....Why?
I have a Gold membership, I play Reach all the time, so what the hell is this?

Sign in to Bungie with the email address that's used for your Gamertag then go to Xbox.com.

Linking Gamertags

If that doesn't work you may need to Unlink/Change the GT linked.

To clarify something, when you sign in to this account (sramsay12) on Bungie.net, is the email address you use to login the same as the one associated with your gamertag?

Also, are you sure you don't want to be RearedSalmon12309? :)

1. On your Xbox console, select the guide button on your controller and sign out. Select Download Profile. Input the email address and password just as if you were signing into your Bungie.net profile, sramsay12. This will recover the gamertag, RearedSalmon483, onto your console.

2. Visit http://signup.live.com and create a Microsoft account. You will not be using this account so the email address can be anything you'd like.

3. On your Xbox console (while signed into your Xbox LIVE gamertag RearedSalmon483), select the guide button on your controller, scroll over to the Settings blade, select Account Management, scroll over to the Your Information tab, select Account Security, select Change Windows Live ID, select Yes. Input the email and password of the Microsoft account (formerly known as Windows Live ID) that you created in step 2.

4. On your Xbox console (while signed into your Xbox LIVE gamertag sramsay12), select the guide button on your controller, scroll over to the Settings blade, select Account Management, scroll over to the Your Information tab, select Account Security, select Change Windows Live ID, select Yes. Input the email and password of the Microsoft account (formerly known as Windows Live ID) that you use to sign into your Bungie.net profile, sramsay12.

Yes, it is...
Seeing as how Salmon has a free membership, no.

Cryptic- thanks, I'll try that later when I'm at home
